On a carriage outside Chang'an City, Liu Ji felt unreal for a moment as he touched the Heavenly Level Fire Technique in his arms, and for a moment he touched the three-thousand-gold gold ticket in his pocket.
Just thinking about the young military advisor who always gave him a half-smile but not a smile made me feel a little cold.
He obeyed his orders and privately encouraged the family members to ask Mr. Fusu to save them. As a result, just because he said "Long live Mr. Fusu", even his family members and a group of people who usually called him brothers were executed by Emperor Qin's order.
As a result, I would dream about those people in the middle of the night for several days in a row. Their faces were covered with blood, asking me why I wanted to harm them, and surrounding me asking for their lives. When I woke up in the middle of the night, my back was dripping with sweat.
The military advisor told him that the first person to shout "Long Live the Young Master" was found out and captured. According to interrogation, he was a remnant of the Six Kingdoms, and his entire clan had been annihilated.
But only Liu Ji knew in his heart that he was the one who shouted the first sentence. The little military advisor asked him to run away after shouting, otherwise disaster would befall him. He shouted and ran away, so disaster would befall someone else.
Liu Ji spread the exercises and golden tickets in front of him, and faintly saw that they were stained with other people's blood.
Liu Ji was refreshed. The military advisor asked him to return to his hometown for three years to practice martial arts before returning to Chang'an. He also assigned him a task: pay attention to two people in Pei County, one named Zhang Liang and the other named Xiao He. When he met these two people
, we must find a way to bring people to Chang'an and bring them to the military advisor.
When Liu Ji agreed, he didn't care. It wasn't until the military advisor kept looking at him with his deep eyes and saw his heart numbing that he realized that the military advisor valued these two people and had taken the matter to heart.
Liu Ji knew that he was returning to his hometown to avoid trouble this time, because the military advisor told him that once what he had done was known to Emperor Qin, everyone named Liu in Pei County would die without a burial place.
Liu Ji forced the bad thoughts out of his mind. Since he followed the military advisor, he has never lacked training resources. Now he has returned to Daopei County with a third-level martial arts cultivation level. He can be regarded as a person. In the past, he left
When I returned home, I was looked down upon so much, but now I have returned home in full glory.
Thinking of this, Liu Ji couldn't help but imagine that he had returned to Peixian County and felt proud in front of his relatives and friends.
Elsewhere, Lin Ze wore a hat and mask, hiding his face and body in the darkness, watching Liu Ji's carriage slowly leave on the hillside, the murderous intent in his eyes dissipating little by little.
Lin Ze's face flashed with an inexplicable smile, and he murmured to himself: "Since you are so sensible, I will keep you as bait and catch a few big fish for me. I hope you won't let me
Disappointed, if you can help me recruit Zhang Liang and Xiao He, wouldn't it be easy to let you go?"
Lin Ze did not expect that this was actually his last chance to decide Liu Ji's life or death, and once some opportunities were lost, they could not be had again.
It is said that Liu Ji finally returned to his hometown of Peixian County after a long journey, but before returning home, he went to the county government to turn the one hundred gold tickets into real gold and copper, which he used to buy a suit.
Wearing gorgeous clothes and a tall horse, he walked through the market with great swagger. When he met a cute child, he sprinkled a handful of coins, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Soon the news that the second son of the old Liu family became famous outside and made a fortune spread throughout Pei County.
Some folks from Peixian County who loved to join in the fun surrounded Liu Ji and asked all kinds of questions. While greeting the folks, Liu Ji talked about what he had seen in Chang'an. He felt a little drunk under the envious eyes of everyone, and finally stood up in front of him.
Surrounded by a crowd of fellow villagers, he returned to his home.
When they arrived at home, Mrs. Liu, leaning on a cane, looked at her dissolute second son coldly and said, "You still know how to come back?"
Liu Ji was not annoyed at all. Instead, he said with a playful smile: "Dad, my son is now successful. Here are two hundred gold, specifically to honor you." He took out two gold tickets and handed them over.
The stern-faced Taigong Liu immediately showed a smile: "Second brother, you have really made a difference now, and you know how to respect my father. Not bad, not bad. Come in, old lady, kill a chicken and give my second brother a good supplement. After these years,
It’s hard work outside.”
In the days that followed, Liu Ji lived a very unrestrained life, riding horses and riding in the streets, eating meat and drinking with his friends, and was very happy.
For a group of Peixian people who have been to the county town most often, Liu Ji, who has been to Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Qin Dynasty, and made a fortune is undoubtedly dazzling, and Liu Ji is also sought after by his fellow villagers.
After Liu Ji drank three ounces of wine, he revealed that he was a disciple of the young master Hu Hai, and that he came back with a secret mission of the young master's military advisor. When others asked Liu Ji what his mission was, Liu Ji always responded appropriately.
Thinking of Lin Ze's half-smiling face, I couldn't help but tremble, and then I didn't want to say more.
Everyone just thought he was bragging, and laughed loudly at him for bragging. Liu Ji didn't care much, it was better to be laughed at than to have his whole family die.
A few days later, even the magistrate of Peixian County knew that there was a remarkable person in his area, who had been a retainer of Master Da Qin and had returned to his hometown with a mission. He immediately found someone to invite Liu Ji to the county government as a guest.
Not to mention that Liu Ji was really a hard-working person at the bottom. He followed a group of fellow villagers, talked foul language, drank heavily, and ate meat. When he arrived at the county government office, he respectfully paid formal courtesy to the county magistrate.
When the county magistrate saw Liu Ji's standard and official salute, he knew that he was indeed a man who had seen the world. He asked about it and said, "Mi is expensive in Chang'an, so it's not easy to live in peace."
Liu Ji replied truthfully: "Master Hu Hai is magnanimous and generous, and he is his disciple. He has no shortage of food, clothing, housing, transportation, and cultivation resources, so it is easy for Ji to live here."
The county magistrate was surprised and said: "How many guests do Mr. Hu Hai have?"
Liu Ji replied calmly: "Master Hu Hai has only about ten disciples in his family. Gu is a young genius, and Ji is just the lowest level."
The county magistrate asked again: "Then why did you return home from Chang'an and was dismissed by the young master?"
Liu Ji shook his head: "No, I came with a mission under the orders of the military advisor."
The county magistrate knew enough not to ask what the mission was. He was not stupid. He knew that the upper echelons had too many secrets and could easily lose their lives. Instead, he was interested in the military advisor and couldn't help but ask: "Who is the military advisor?"
Liu Ji finally lost his composure and replied with a hint of respect and fear: "The military advisor is a peerless genius. He is only eight years old, has a third-level martial arts, and has superhuman wisdom, which is rare in the world."
The county magistrate took a breath, the eight-year-old third-level martial arts genius from Chang'an City was so terrifying.
Next, the county magistrate asked some questions about Liu Ji's family, and the two of them drank tea and had refreshments.
At the end, the county magistrate suddenly asked: "Brother Liu Ji is now at the third level of martial arts. I wonder if the task of being a military advisor will prevent you from starting another career at home?"
Liu Ji thought about it carefully and replied: "The military advisor has never said that I will not be allowed to do other things, so there is probably no problem."
The county magistrate said with a surprised look on his face: "That's just right. There is a pavilion director in my area who is still lacking, and no suitable talent has been found to take up the post. I think my brother is very suitable for it."
Liu Ji quickly got up from his seat, bowed to the county magistrate, and said happily: "Thank you for your promotion."
In the 488th year of the First Emperor's calendar, Liu Ji was appointed as the pavilion chief of Sishui.
